This easy recipe for overnight oatmeal pancakes is a delicious and simple mix-up to reheating leftover soaked and cooked rolled oats.

When it comes to home cooking, having creative and tasty ways to use up leftovers is very important.

This eliminates feelings of "same old, same old" meals that might encourage processed foods or toxic takeout to slowly sneak back into the menu.

Tastily prepared leftovers also takes a lot of the pressure off us self-taught home chefs to produce a freshly prepared meal 3 times a day/7 days a week!

When it comes to breakfast, one of my favorite recipes for using up leftovers is frying up crispy overnight oatmeal pancakes.

All that is needed is one or more cups of cold, soaked, and fully cooked rolled oats from the day before.

If you haven't noticed, reheated oatmeal is really boring and doesn't quite have the consistency of freshly cooked.

Thus, making pancakes out of soaked oatmeal leftovers is a decidedly more tasty and enjoyable approach.

I hope you enjoy this simple and frugal recipe that I've used for many years!
